Because "free strategy call" almost always means "sales pitch in disguise." An honest diagnosis of your marketing takes senior specialists five business days of actual work — ads reviewed, CRM audited, attribution models rebuilt.

Charging for it means we actually do the work, and you end up with deliverables you own regardless of whether you retain us. Most clients recover the audit fee in wasted-spend savings before the retainer even starts.

The audit runs between $750 and $2,500, priced by your marketing scale and monthly ad spend. Retainers start at $3,500/mo and scale based on the channels you need. Fractional CMO tier adds strategic oversight on top.

Full breakdown in the Pricing section above — no phone call required to see numbers.

Audit deliverables inside 5 business days. First quick wins implemented within 2–4 weeks. Meaningful shift in lead volume or ROI typically by day 30. Systemized, predictable growth inside 90 days.

If you're seeing 12-month timelines from other agencies, that's because they're selling you retainer longevity, not results velocity.

We'll audit your current setup as a third-party review. Many clients use the report to fix what their existing agency missed — some replace them afterward, others use it to negotiate a better scope. Either outcome is fine by us.

The report is yours to act on however you want. Zero pressure to move your retainer to us.

No. Month-to-month retainers after the audit. We earn the next month by making the current one work — that's the entire model.

If you want a 12-month commitment with a discount, we'll offer it. But it's never a requirement to work with us.

Senior 1099 specialists — not junior account managers reading from a playbook. Resonate is a Florida LLC operating with vetted independent experts in each channel, not a bloated agency with billable-hour pressure.

Every engagement has a named lead you talk to directly. For most owner-operators that's Valerii. You'll have his email, phone, and Slack if you want it.
